Eagles TE Trey Burton caught 5-of-6 targets for 71 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles' Week 14 win over the Rams.

Burton's day got off to an ominous start when Brent Celek scored on the Eagles' opening drive, but Burton had a score of his own before the first quarter was through. He then scored again in the opening minutes of the second. It was everything fantasy streamers could have hoped for. With Zach Ertz (concussion) expected back for Week 15, Burton won't be on the radar against the Giants' sieve-like tight end defense. Dec 10 - 8:30 PM

Trey Burton caught 2-of-4 targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' Week 9 win over the Broncos.

Burton picked up the start in place of Zach Ertz (hamstring) and delivered a 27-yard touchdown in Philly's blowout win. Ertz figures to return after the Eagles' Week 10 bye, at which point Burton would resume third-string tight end duties behind Ertz and blocker Brent Celek. Nov 5 - 5:17 PM

Trey Burton caught four passes for 43 yards in the Eagles' third preseason game.

An athletic slot tight end whom the Eagles tendered at the second-round level, Burton could have a bigger role than expected this year due to the Eagles' slot receiver shortage, but he's unlikely to become a fantasy factor without a severe injury to Zach Ertz. Burton is more of a hold in Dynasty leagues. Aug 24 - 10:14 PM

Burton's passing-game role will shrink with the additions of Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith, but the Eagles made sure to keep their athletic reserve tight end after Burton's mini-breakout 2016 campaign. Not yet 26 years old, Burton posted a 37-321-1 receiving line on 60 targets last season. A onetime college quarterback, Burton will be an unrestricted free agent next offseason. Apr 3 - 3:30 PM

Eagles K Caleb Sturgis (hip) is unlikely to be activated off injured reserve.

Sturgis is eligible to return after being placed on injured reserve following Week 1, but the Eagles are happy with Jake Elliott at kicker. "I would say right now there’s no reason to make a change," ST coordinator Dave Fipp said. It is a tough break for Sturgis, who connected on 85.4 percent of his kicks last year and all but one extra point. In the final year of his deal, Sturgis should easily find a new home in free agency.
